The Murder of Stephanie Scott

Emash Digital / Wondery
About this episode

26-year-old Stephanie Scott was a high school teacher in Leeton, Australia. She was well-loved by friends, family, and her students. She was set to be married to the love of her life, but just days before her wedding was to take place she was killed by a monster. Friends and family searched for Stephanie after she failed to return home or answer cell phone calls. No one was prepared for the truth of what happened to the beloved teacher.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murder of Stephanie Scott. 24-year-old Vincent Stanford was a loner who preferred to spend his time playing on-line video games. The rest of his time was spent stalking women, meticulously detailing out their routines in his journal. Stanford was a cleaner at the high school where Stephanie taught. She was just one of many victims he had been stalking. But sadly, Vincent found his opportunity to strike when Stephanie was at the school finishing up some work.
